NOTE:
HO2S is located in exhaust pipe, upstream of the catalytic converter. Faults in sensor or circuit should set a service code. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES
article.
- To test sensor, warm engine to operating temperature. Unplug sensor. Connect DVOM positive lead to Gray/Light Blue wire (Red/Light Green on some sensors) on HO2S. Connect DVOM negative lead to Orange wire on HO2S.
- Start engine and run at high and low speeds while monitoring voltage. Voltage should fluctuate between 0.2-1.0 volt. If voltage is not as specified, replace sensor.
- To check sensor heater, measure resistance between remaining 2 terminals. With sensor at room temperature, resistance should be 2-5 ohms. With sensor warm to hot, resistance should be 5-30 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace sensor.
